In this course, we will build blockchain concepts from the ground up. We will start with basic cryptography constructs, like hash functions and PKI encryption, to first build a solid base for understanding blockchain and appreciate its value. Then, we will explore the Hyperledger Fabric technology by IBM using hands-on development environment within your browser. This course is a great starting point for engineers looking to develop expertise in blockchain technology with Hyperledger Fabric specialty. In this course, you will deploy your own blockchain network, deploy chaincode on it and create an application that invokes your chaincode running in fabric network. You will also learn to manage fabric user identities in your application using wallets.

To recap: we saw in this chapter the *what* and *why* of blockchain.

# What?
Blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a 'trustable data record' built as a distributed system.


# Why?
Current system of records either lack trust or pay a cost for trust. There is a huge opportunity to solve these issues in current systems of records.

# Next: How?
In the next 2 chapters we will see from a tech perspective, how blockchain achieves this quality of 'immutability and trust'.

In the next chapter, we will explain the different pre-requisites for understanding blockchain.
